It’s almost unbelievable, but true!

The match was initially suspended, and eventually, referee David Šmajc together with delegate Vlado Močnik definitively called it off. The condition for the game to continue was clear: the Viole had to empty their sector and leave the Fazanerija. However, the supporters of the Styrian club refused to comply, responding to calls with even more pyrotechnics…
Before the match, the Viole publicly expressed dissatisfaction because Mura had allocated them only 150 tickets. They requested additional tickets from the club from Prekmurje, but they were not granted…
The match was also canceled due to injuries suffered in the Mura camp (details are not yet known, unofficially three players of the home team and the conditioning coach are reported to be affected), and of course, the key question arises: what will be the outcome?

Maribor is in serious trouble, but Mura will likely also have to dig into their pockets due to poor match organization…
